How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewI usually wake late and never eat breakfast ! The owner organised an iron and ironing board for me as I pre-requested and the single room was adequate for my three night stay (asked for extra pillow and got it staraighatway) The shower and bathroom were small but clean and functional - - the bed large single was super comfy.. No complaits at all / and the pub they have below the rooms didnt botehr me at all! It was a lively place to have a beer and a snack from 5pm onwards and open Sat from 11am )closed Sunday) very local and great beer
The singl rooms are facing the main road so a little noisy when the windows are open (as I had veyr alte nights that didnt botehr me as no traffic. Would have been nice to hae small fan in roomas the weather was very warm

Verified reviewVery nice staff! Very quiet place and neighbourhood. To get to the hotel needs only a few bus or tram stops from the main station. The room was very spacious, the same as bathroom. Cleaning service, refreshed room, clean bedsheets and towels noticed every day! :) Grocery store and bakery next to hotel. They also have a restaurant, but we had no chance to try it.
Unfortunately no lift to higher levels. Electric sockets loose, could be fixed.

Verified reviewClean, comfortable, good space for 1 person, would have been roomy with 2 people as well. Had a charming B&B vibe. Large bathroom, desk, good natural light. Relatively central, walkable to train station (15-20 mins), little grocery store at the end of the block, pub in bottom of hotel, there was transport to downtown Essen outside on the street as well. Nice park around 5 minute walk away. If you’re looking for Asian cuisine, go to
Due to the humid summer weather and there not being air conditioning, room was a bit warm (also being on the third floor). Air conditioning isn’t all that common in Europe compared to North America. There was a large window in the bedroom as well as in the bathroom.

Verified reviewI was allowed to leave my luggage and have the key even though it was long before check in time, breakfast in the morning was great and the room has everything you need. Staff were very friendly and welcoming too
I was woken once the tram service started but that isn’t really the hotels fault.
